AIM Data Transfer

The SU2 AIM has the ability to transfer surface data (e.g. pressure distributions) to and from the AIM using the conservative and interpolative data transfer schemes in CAPS. Currently these transfers may only take place on triangular meshes.

Data transfer from SU2 (FieldOut)

• "Cp", or "CoefficientOfPressure"
  Loads the coefficient of pressure distribution from surface_flow_[project_name].cvs file. This distribution may be scaled based on Pressure = Pressure_Scale_Factor*Cp + Pressure_Scale_Offset, where "Pressure_Scale_Factor" and "Pressure_Scale_Offset" are AIM inputs (AIM Inputs)

• "Pressure" or "P"
  Loads the pressure distribution from surface_flow_[project_name].cvs file. This distribution may be scaled based on Pressure = Pressure_Scale_Factor*Pressure + Pressure_Scale_Offset, where "Pressure_Scale_Factor" and "Pressure_Scale_Offset" are AIM inputs (AIM Inputs)

"Temperature"
Loads the temperature distribution from surface_flow_[project_name].cvs file. This distribution may be scaled based on Temperature = Temperature_Scale_Factor*Temp, where "Temperature_Scale_Factor" is an AIM input (AIM Inputs)

Data transfer to SU2 (FieldIn)

• "Displacement"
  Retrieves nodal displacements (as from a structural solver) and updates SU2's surface mesh; a new [project_name]_motion.dat file is written out which may be loaded into SU2 to update the surface mesh/move the volume mesh.
